50: The Twins of the Snow Forest

"Damn it..."

Shen Guyan extinguished the campfire with a wave of his hand. He knew full well the power of the Titan Snow Demons; in his current exhausted and injured state, there was no way he could escape from these Spirit Beasts.

Judging solely by their aura, this group of Titan Snow Demons was at least at the thousand-year level. Even in a one-on-one fight at full strength, Shen Guyan would be no match for them.

"Move!" Shen Guyan grabbed Gu Yue's hand and bit it again, rich life energy pouring in from his mouth. To survive, he had to do something.

He cautiously bent his legs, which were bound with branches, leaned on the canglang sword with one hand, and slowly stood up, his gaze fierce as he stared down the Titan Snow Demons. His hands clenched into slight fists as the Soul Power within him began to circulate slowly, and he started frantically throwing things out of the cave entrance. Although very little Soul Power remained in his body, he was still prepared for battle.

As a young master of the Shen Family, Old Master Shen had naturally equipped him with several low-grade Pre-set Soul Tool Cannon Shellss before he set out to deal with Gu Yue and Beast God Di Tian.

Pre-set Soul Tool Cannon Shellss are a terrifying existence among spirit tools. They have been constantly evolving with the progress of the era and are strictly restricted weapons on both the Douluo Continent and other continents. Normally, no private individual is allowed to possess them except for the military.

At the same time, the production cost of Pre-set Soul Tool Cannon Shellss is high, but their power is also extremely staggering. Once a Rank 7 Pre-set Soul Tool Cannon Shells explodes, the surrounding area within a diameter of several thousand meters would likely turn into scorched earth.

Precisely because the power of these shells is so immense and difficult to control, Shen Guyan hadn't been able to use them when dealing with Gu Yue in the narrow alternate space earlier.

Shen Guyan forced his heavily injured body to the cave entrance, took out a soul tool ray gun, and began spraying the surroundings with fire.

The Titan Snow Demons seemed provoked by Shen Guyan's defiance. They let out a furious roar toward the sky, a deafening sound that echoed across the empty ice plains for a long time.

Most importantly, when they discovered that it was a human coming out of the cave, their eyes turned blood-red as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Then, the leading Titan Snow Demon raised its massive foot and stomped down violently toward Shen Guyan. That foot was like a giant boulder, carrying immense force; wherever it passed, snow splashed and the ground trembled.

Shen Guyan's eyes narrowed. His hands quickly shot out several colorless threads, Binding the surrounding towering rocks to pull his body away in a dodge.

The Titan Snow Demon's foot landed heavily where he had just been standing, smashing a huge deep pit, and the surrounding snow was scattered in all directions by the powerful impact.

"Such powerful strength..."

Shen Guyan's pupils constricted. Without time to think, he quickly pressed the remote control in his hand.

Not far outside that deep pit, several Pre-set Soul Tool Cannon Shellss glowed with a bloodthirsty red light—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of loud explosions rang out like thunder, and silver-gray explosion clouds instantly swallowed the massive bodies of the Titan Snow Demon pack. The shockwave formed by ultra-compressed Soul Power blew away the snow within a hundred-meter radius.

Unable to dodge in time, Shen Guyan was hit by the powerful aftershock. He flew out like a broken kite and slammed heavily into the snow, kicking up a cloud of flakes. He struggled to crawl back up but felt a sharp pain in his chest; a mouthful of fresh blood welled up in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit it out.

Shen Guyan continued to stare fixedly at the smoke-filled battlefield. When the dust cleared, the Titan Snow Demons were charred black. The leader's white bones were even visible in places, yet the ferocity in its crimson vertical pupils surged instead. It beat its chest and let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the glacier beneath its feet actually cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

"Is their defense also this exaggerated..." A hint of despair appeared in Shen Guyan's eyes.

Before he could think further, the Titan Snow Demon had already charged across the cracking ice, the astral wind generated by its giant claws grinding the ice pillars along the way into powder!

But his gaze remained firm, with no intention of giving up. Just as the Titan Snow Demon was about to launch another attack, Shen Guyan suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop several degrees further.

He was startled and looked up to see that, at some point, strange snowflakes had appeared in the originally leaden-gray sky. These snowflakes were crystal clear, emitting a faint blue and green light, each the size of a palm, slowly drifting down. As the snowflakes fell, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and a thick layer of ice quickly condensed on the ground; even the bodies of these Titan Snow Demons began to be covered in a layer of frost.

In the next instant, a burst of intense white light suddenly shot up in front of Shen Guyan. It was a giant tree; the entire tree shimmered with a lustrous white light, but the tree itself was blue. It looked as if it were condensed from ice crystals, yet it was filled with the aura of life.

It appeared exactly in the path where the Titan Snow Demons had to pass. It collided with the leading Titan Snow Demons; the giant tree swayed, and its branches and leaves shattered one after another.

A terrifying chill scattered. Beneath the feet of the Titan Snow Demons, blue giant trees burst forth. Although they couldn't pierce their tough flesh, they successfully blocked the pack of Titan Snow Demons for a moment.

Immediately after, a massive ball of lightning exploded in front of him, blowing the group of Titan Snow Demons into a disarrayed mess.

"This is..." Shen Guyan was stunned by the scene before him.

At that moment, a slender man folded his wings and descended from the sky, landing precisely in front of Shen Guyan.

He had bronze-colored skin and small but very sharp eyes. Tucked at his waist were two identical-looking young girls, held by the man with one in each arm. Their auras were weak, and they looked completely exhausted.

Behind them, a large number of white and yellow mechas flew over the group, launching a fierce attack on the Titan Snow Demons.

"Little kid, why did you come to the Far North Land all by yourself?" The man noticed Shen Guyan's severe injuries and immediately set down the two girls, squatting in front of Shen Guyan to check on him with a concerned tone.

Shen Guyan opened his mouth. Could he possibly tell the other party that he had fought with the Silver Dragon King, the co-lord of the Spirit Beasts, and then charged through a spatial turbulence to arrive here?

"Dean, don't go scaring the Little Brother."

One of the girls, thinking Shen Guyan was frightened, teased him while forcing her weak body to stay upright.

The two girls looked exactly alike and were about ten years old; they were clearly sisters at a glance. However, the hair colors of these two sisters were completely different, which was somewhat strange.

"My name is Zhou Tianer, and this is my elder sister Zhou Hanyou," one of the lively girls introduced themselves.

Standing at the very front, Zhou Hanyou's face carried a coldness, looking like a winter plum blossom in the snow. As a ten-year-old girl, she was not yet fully developed and still appeared very youthful.
